Finding the Perfect Color...

It's easier to find the perfect shade of color when working with a blank canvas. But it's a bit of a challenge when working with furniture and carpet that really worked with the color you're trying to get rid of.

And it's not that I didn't like what I did in the first place, but it's been five years and well in my family that might as well be eternity! Some of us like to change color often (rotating through your home, painting a room every 3-4 months). Others like myself typically paint at least 1 room each year, sometimes 2 (rooms that is). OK so last year I painted 3 rooms; the master suite, playroom and guest room. I digress. I really have spent the good part of the weekend trying to find just the right color for a new look. I love color and certain rooms in my home are bursting with color so it's important to get the right neutral to pull all the colors together.

And I need to find just the right accent to give the room a bit of a jolt!

I may have found it...

What do you think?

Now I just hope the painters show up later this week. They have a lot of work to do!
